Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Impact of Anthropogenic Activities Recorded By Mercury in the Sediment from Dianshan LakeHui Zhang, Nan Zhang, Qi Yang et al.The mercury in sediment cores from Dianshan Lake, Shanghai is studied in this study and it indicates that the mercury level changing from 52.78-145.66 µg kg-1 in sediment can be obviously divided into three sections responding to the development of economy of Shanghai. Mercury decreases with depth in 0-11 cm underground, which is corresponding to the depositing period after 1980; … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 4 Aug 2012 · 7,018 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetention Pond Sediment Accumulation Prediction using Monte Carlo SimulationSupiah Shamsudin, Abd Rashid Mohd Darom, Irma Norazurah Mohamad, Azmi Ab RahmanProblem statement: A study in Malaysia had been carried out to predict the sediment accumulation in urban detention ponds. Suspended sediment is pollutant of primary concern to the river that results in adverse environmental effect. Detention pond becomes a practical approach to this problem. Suspended sediment that settled in stormwater detention pond, can bring effect to the detention pond functions. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 7,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHeavy Metals Contamination of Road-Deposited SedimentsJonathan YisaProblem statement: Impact of anthropogenic activities on man and his environment as a result of the growing rate of urbanization in Bida, Nigeria is of a great concern. Street sediments that accumulate along pavements in urban environments have the potential to provide considerable loadings of heavy metals to receiving waters and water bodies, particularly with changing environmental conditions. The objective … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,308 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRepresentative Particle Size of Sediment in Storm Sewer InletsJaber Almedeij, Ebtehal Ahmad, Jasem AlhumoudProblem statement: The aim of this study was examine the representative particle size of noncohesive sediment samples collected from different storm sewer inlets in residential catchments within Kuwait. Approach: A number of 25 sediment samples were collected from storm sewer inlets located in five residential areas in Kuwait: Bayan, Al-Nuzha, Al-Feiha, Al-Andalos and Al-Rumaithya. All the impervious areas for the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,194 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental Investigation of Cluster Bed-Form Formation Over Uniform SedimentMasoud Karbasi, Mohammad H. Omid, Javad FarhoudiProblem statement: Cluster microforms are a type of small scale bed-form found in the surface layer of some gravel bed rivers. These bed-forms are comprised of discrete, organized groupings of particles that sit above the average elevation of the surrounding bed. As part of the structural organization of the bed, clusters are believed to impact the local dynamics of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Assessment of Metals (Pb and Cu) Contamination in Bottom Sediment from South China Sea Coastal Waters, MalaysiaM. C. Ong, B. Y. KamaruzzamanProblem statement: The accumulation of metal contaminants in sediments can pose serious environmental problems to the surrounding areas. Trace metal contamination in sediment could affect the water quality and the bio-assimilation and bioaccumulation of metals in aquatic organisms, resulting in potential long-term implications on human health and ecosystem. Approach: About 154 bottom sediment samples were collected using Smith McIntyre in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUsing SWAT to Target Critical Source Sediment and Phosphorus Areas in the Wister Lake Basin, USAPhilip R. Busteed, Daniel E. Storm, Michael J. White, Scott H. StoodleyProblem statement: Wister Lake is located in the San Bois Mountains in southeastern Oklahoma, USA. The reservoir is primarily used as a water supply and flood storage to over 40,000 residents in the area. Due to high levels of phosphorus and sediment, Wister Lake is listed as a high priority basin for the State of Oklahoma. To help address these … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSeasonal Distribution of Organic Carbon in the Surface Sediments of the Terengganu Nearshore Coastal AreaS. Hasrizal, B. Y. Kamaruzzaman, I. Sakri et al.Problem statement: The distribution of organic carbon in the surface sediment is a crucial indicator for current productivity in the ocean especially in the nearshore area. The difference of organic carbon in the surface sediment reflects the influence of current movement on the bottom sediment. Approach: This study was carried out to oversee the difference of organic carbon distribution during … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalytical Estimation of Geotherm for Multi Layer Model from Heat Flow Equation: A Case Study of Parts of Chad Sedimentary Basin, NigeriaEmujakporue Godwin OmokenuThe subsurface temperature distribution of part of Chad sedimentary basin has been determined by applying analytical solution for multi-layer-model in solving the 1-D steady state conductive heat flow equation. Four-layer model was adopted because the Chad basin is made up of four lithostratigraphies. In this model, equilibrium geotherm of the four layers was computed by considering each layer separately while … …Physics International, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 6 Oct 2017 · 8,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSedimentology and Ichnology of Late Oligocene Delta Front Reservoir Sandstone Deposit, Greater Ughelli Depobelt, Niger DeltaRaphael Oaikhena Oyanyan, Michael Ndubuisi OtiSedimentological and ichnological study of cored reservoir sands correlated with wireline logs between two wells, 0.8 km distance apart along dip direction, enabled vertical and cross sectional facies variability assessment aimed at determining intra sand-body continuity in longitudinal or down-dip direction; and sub-environments of deposition and factors that controlled depositional processes.
